door is closed. Poor alignment may result in heat loss and leaks
during use.

15. INSTALLING THE COOKING COMPONENTS

Parts Required:
1 x Flame Tamer (#13)
1 x Water Pan (#12)
5 x Cooking Grids (#1)
Installation:
• Place the flame tamer over the burn pot at the bottom of the interior
main cabinet. To ensure proper positioning, align the flame tamer into
the grooves along the bottom of the base panel. Note illustration 15A.
IMPORTANT: The ventilation windows on the sides of the flame
tamer box must not face forward, towards the cabinet door. This
may cause damage to the control board if flames are too large.
• Next, insert the water pan into the lowest embossed grid supports of
the interior cabinet. Fill your water pan about ¾ full of water.
IMPORTANT: Keep water in the water pan at all times while cooking.
It will catch grease and drippings from your cooks and allow for
easier clean up. If smoking for an extended period of time, move
water pan up higher to allow water to last longer.
• Last, place the cooking grids on the embossed grid supports inside the
main cabinet.
• The unit is now completely assembled.

16. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

NOTE: Before plugging your unit into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the SMOKE position. Disconnect when not in use.
• STANDARD OUTLET
This unit requires 120 volt, 60hz, 250w, 2.1 amp service. It must be a 3-prong
grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off. The control uses a
5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.
GFCI OUTLETS
•
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. The quality
of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
• ON THE ROAD
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual
start-up procedure. A Pit Boss unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt
inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic
igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
